darksabre Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Woman here. The only time I accept a man bun is if you're some rugged rock climber/outdoorsman and your hair has grown long because you're focusing on topping El Cap and you sometimes need your locks out of your face. Sign me up. The trendy "half my head is shaved but check it- i've got an itty bitty little baby bun thing flopping around on my noggin" look- nope. Nope. No. I'd accept a ponytail in certain cases. Rare. Mullets? Nah. But I didn't grow up in an era where they were everywhere- I can't promise that my girlish whimsies wouldn't also have been serenaded by the pure raunch and machismo of a tight jeaned sex god with a front that means bidness and a back that says "They Call Me Iron Horse" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 That's just it. The mullet was a man's man hairstyle. Don't believe me? Swayze in Roadhouse, Kurt Russel in anything, Mel Gibson. Man bun...name one. I can't. Not saying there isn't, I just can't. I give you Jason Momoa. Good ol' Khal Drogo, Aquaman, not maybe that great of an actor, but in my opinion, is manly and can pull off a man bun. It's also because he fits my previous description of an outdoorsy rock climber. Dude shreds some serious rockwalls with his pal Chris Sharma. Following their Instagrams is inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no dude will be heard to say anything about it. Nope. Not me anyway. ... Please don't hurt me, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Just bought King's 'IT' in book form after seeing the trailer for the newest adaptation. Has anyone read this yet? I've only ever read one other King book, '11-22-63', and it's one of my favorite; really hoping for the same from 'IT'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Just bought King's 'IT' in book form after seeing the trailer for the newest adaptation. Has anyone read this yet? I've only ever read one other King book, '11-22-63', and it's one of my favorite; really hoping for the same from 'IT'. 'It' is King's best effort, IMO. One of the scariest books that I have ever read. I have never watched any movie adaptation of it. The book captures all of your childhood fears in a way that only King can. When you read it be sure to have extra underwear handy, if you know what I mean. Edited July 27, 2017 by Sabres Fan In NS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book captures all of your childhood fears in a way that only King can. When you read it be sure to have extra underwear handy, if you know what I mean. I'm really interested to see if a book can actually be terrifying. I've never read a 'scary' book, I'm struggling to see how the jumpy moments in a film can translate well into a book. I mean, I know it does because everyone tells me 'IT' the novel is absolutely terrifying, but I can't see how. This gets me really excited for it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever read one other King book, '11-22-63', and it's one of my favorite; really hoping for the same from 'IT'. Yep, read this one, although I read it after seeing the TV miniseries ages ago... so, so freaky. I'm a little worried Hollywood is going to ruin it because there's no way to capture a 1000+ page book in a 2 hour movie without cutting some major material, but we'll see how they do.

chileanseabass Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 My 16 year old stepson just started rocking a man bun. He's in good shape and has no problem attracting girls, but so far the only positive "I really like your new hair" comments have come from the older/grandma crowd at church. I think 3 or 4 septuagenarians have now offered up that they think it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've read dozens of King books probably at this point, and the one WC bought is top 5. I had to put one of those books down because I couldn't continue. (I did end up finishing it a couple months later) It took a while to be scared by books, but now I can be.

Maybe his friends have tricked him into attracting the older ones so that the other girls in school will pay attention to them instead.
